I just clicked the Southeast forum and couldn't find a blessed thing on this great state and then I wondered if I was in the wrong area and sure enough, a few clicks later I realized Texas was grouped with the Southwest. Its really Southcentral or just South but I think it is better to just call it Texas.

okay

Since I've just stumbled across this thread & there seems to be a lot of interest (relatively speaking), go ahead and advocate for one

Would this mean that riding info, sharing experience about the peculiarly Texan cycling adventures would be more easily found? Would anyone care what cycling opportunities there were in Bryan-College Station?

On the other hand, you folks seem to have reasonably dominant presence in the Southwest BF forum which is better for keeping our neighbors under control...

Yeah - I just think it would be better to organize rides and TX social events in a TX specific forum - esp. after seeing the S. California forum in action. Heck - even a TX forum might be too generalized as events in N. Texas are probably too far to be of concern for folks in S. Texas or E. Texas, ect.....

I'm a-gin-it.I an't for givin up Airezona and New Mexico to them Hippies out in Calaforina.I know we could cut Texas up into several sections--piney woods--coastal plans--hill country--tran pacos--etc and each one would be a great site---each has it's own idenity---but so does the rest of the areas in the SW forum---guess living all my life in Tx just taught me to think big--Calaforinia just needed to cut it's self down to the size they think in,that's why they needed two fourms.So I vote for BIG --the hole enchilada---sam

"Remember the Alamo...Remember Goliad!" Oh...wait a minute..."The South shall rise again!"....well, y'all get the point.

D@mn skippy - my great great great (maybe a couple more greats in there) grandfather died at the Alamo. It's how my family got to Texas. Our bloods in the soil. Least I can do to honor them is fight for our own forum!!!!!

I have been to multiple places in NM, and it has a few spots that are nice. But, that is pretty funny, that someone in NM would call TX an armpit. If you ever even get to TX in Summer, go sit by the Guadalupe river near Gruene until you change your mind. And yes, you will,,,,BD
